Maggie: I took the girls to a favourite childhood haunt, a waterhole on the North-west bay river. They loved the rock climbing and playing in the water. I have meant to go back this summer, but to be honest I think summer has slipped away from us.Elisabeth: Oh my. She continues to develop into a confident young miss. In most regards. Rob took this portrait.

Maggie: Yes these are the same series as the last set of portraits from 2016, but I loved these two as well, and when they were strictly taken on the 3rd of January, it is totally legitimate to use them as the first set of 2017. Given how serious the last set were, I thought it appropriate to start a new year with smiles!Elisabeth: A gorgeous smile.

Whilst I thought perhaps with all the delays in blogging last year, that perhaps I should stop this project. They photos from the last three years are so precious to me that I couldn't!

Maggie: Her final portrait in 2016. A classic Maggie measured look. A little annoyed. A little defiant. All Mags.Elisabeth: About to smile. An open look. Goodness they have grown up this past year.
The final set of portraits for 2016.

Maggie: Yikes, channeling her inner Kate Moss! We have continued this monthly set of portraits. Amazing to see the girls grow up as we look back on the set of portraits.Elisabeth: Poor girls are not often in the mood for these set of photos, as we they are usually on one of our home days before Rob heads to work!
Joining in VERY late with 52 portrait project.

Maggie: Surfing down the slide. On recent trips to the beach she has asked for a surfboard. Surfy chick coming up!Elisabeth: A look of determination, not uncommon for either girl.
Blogging quite obviously has fallen by the wayside over the last couple of months. I am blaming end of the year shenanigans including their birthday, Christmas, pre-kinder sessions, trying to finish tasks at work. We have been taking photos, just not finding the time to post them.

About Me

A small hut,
a large garden,
a couple of friendly dogs,
a quiet life.
I live in our little hut, in rural Tasmania, and until recently it was just the four of us. My husband Rob, and our two German Shepherds, Nigella and Claudia.
New additions to our family are identical twins Maggie and Elisabeth.
As a new Mama the content of my blog has evolved slightly, but you will find: babies, good food, motherhood, gardens, flowers, baking, recipes, and of course our dogs.
